Ive never been a fan of environmentally friendly products . Washing up liquid that you need to use twice as much of to do the job is a good example . Another good example of uselessness , my solar panels (fitted by my Housing Association landlord ) that have not made any difference to my electric bill , but someone somewhere will be getting a routinely paid subsidy for fitting them and a payment for the electric they produce , if that's anything at all .
This week we have been testing a new tractor on demonstration and yes it has an eco -feature , an emissions regulator . This feature injects EXTRA diesel into an exhaust filter to clean all the pollutants out of it . They then are ejected into the air . So first it cleans the exhaust gases then periodically purges then out using extra diesel . Am I missing something here ? This silly system makes the tractor use much more fuel , so how is this good for the environment ?
When this silly system kicks in a lot of flashing dashboard lights appear along with an annoying bleeping sound . Today the tractor had to stand automatically revving in extra fuel for 20minutes to complete this process . Again another example of technology getting the better of me . Who is responsible for this ? Its a tractor for goodness sake . I know global warming is being banded around at the moment due to our floods but silly gimmicks like this are illogical but I guess legally necessary .
And how have I fixed my laptop ? I started pushing all the keyboard buttons on at a time and hey presto I have action again . This sums up my week in a nut shell !
